quote:On the DVD commentary, the director explains that there were more shots showing how the canvas could be folded without ruining the painting. What couldn't be folded, however, is the wooden stretcher frame to which the canvas is affixed...yet the canvas is still attached to the unbroken stretcher when Crown later takes the painting out of his briefcase. It was explained that the plan was to have the briefcase outfitted with knives that would precisely cut the stretcher without harming the canvas when the briefcase was closed. However, all this explaining slowed down the scene too much, so they cut them out and figured most people wouldn't notice that the briefcase was half the size of the painting.
